Niles Housing Commission

Niles Housing Commission, a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership headquartered in Niles, Michigan, is a federal grant recipient operating under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization receives formula grants to support public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Niles.

Niles Housing Commission's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants administered through two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Most recently, on January 1, 2026, the commission received a $209,721 operating fund award running through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund supports modernization, development, and management improvements to public housing stock; the commission received a capital fund award on May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029. Over the past several years, the commission has received ten formula grant awards combining for $2.8 million obligated dollars, split between operating fund and capital fund allocations awarded across 2022 through 2026.

The commission's activity profile shows consistent annual receipt of HUD grants: one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026. Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding agency, accounting for 100% of awards. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. The organization does not operate as a prime contractor on federal contracts, does not sit on government-wide vehicles, and has no subcontract footprint. Niles Housing Commission functions as a direct recipient of formula grant funding to administer and maintain affordable public housing operations in Michigan.
